Hi,
I too often wear some 44 mm watches, as Panerai, JLC, and some others...
I can tell you that on the wrist, it's just perfect, even if you use to wear big watches, admitting that nowadays, 44 watches are big watches, when you see 47mm to come...
The watch is thin, and that 's this detail that will change you more than the size, compared to Panerai or other "big" IWC...
The Naughty Lus is a quite thin watch, but that's why it's an elegant "sport" watch...
If it's difficult to try one at an AD's...I may suggestyou to try some re sellers, they may allow you to try it, before deciding.
Here are some fresh pics of mine...
PS, if you want thicker than the 5712, go on a 5980...
Best.
